Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0624948A1] A tuner for Radio Data System is including: receiving unit (10,20) for receiving signals modulated to a plurality of frequencies each allocated to a plurality of channels; channel selecting unit (73) for selecting one of the plurality of channels by manipulating an input portion (75) corresponding thereto; reproducing unit (40,50) for reproducing signal modulated to the frequency corresponding to the channel selected by the channel selection unit; and function setting unit (71) for setting special function relating to RDS for the plurality of channels. The function setting unit invalidates the special function with respect to a part of the plurality of channels. Further, it is also possible to cancel all special functions relating to RDS when RDS data is not included in the signal. It is possible to invalidate the traffic report waiting function, by simply pressing the preset key, only for the channel which include no RDS data. Therefore, the operation of the invalidation is simplified, and the operation does not affect the function of the other channels allocated to other broadcasting stations. <IMAGE>
